My soon to be ex-husband really irritates me, as many of you know... yesterday was one of those such days, and I got this idea in my head that I want to run by everyone...
would it be too completely unethical for me to (just for fun) create, print out, and frame a fake death certificate for my soon to be ex husband, then place it in my living room so that I have something sorta sick and funny to look at when he is on the phone, rambling incessantly down my ear about all his life's problems and how I am somehow responsible for them? i would never ever use the fake certificate for anything illegal, nor would I ever give it to him... I'd just look at it with a wistfull longing look on my face during those times when he does my head in...
what do you think? :) hehe

Why not just print a couple of his pictures and keep them handy by the phone that way when he is whining, you can pull one out and "decorate it" as you please. Just a suggestion... A little less creepy than a death certificate.

Everyone has some degree of "vengeance" , but honestly, if he is soon to be an ex, try taking the "High Road" and not stoop to petty levels. Two years from now you will probably be glad you did. Ex's will always have complaints and want to blame their spouse. Should you truly wish to defuse the problem, then accept 50% of the responsibility and say YES, I have some blame for the failure, but so do you. Leave on an amicable note, or at least to the point where you can speak. Do not allow him to control your life after you are divorced, Hate is a powerful weapon and it can easily consume your life, let it go and enjoy your new found Freedon. He can wallow in guilt, blame etc, while you can move on.

My only question is this. If he is a soon to be ex, why bother answering the phone in the first place. And yes a death certificate would be a bad idea. Read the news once in awhile. Here is an article that is almost the same thing.

I could never do this for the same reason I never use fake illness among family and friends to get out of work...because I'd be afraid it would REALLY happen. Instead, I agree with an earlier answer, I would make a huge dartboard and play with that...or better yet don't answer the phone when he calls. I'm assuming you have no kids (otherwise why would you put up a death cert. of their father) so what's the point in talking to him at all anymore??

I think it's whatever helps you to keep your mind straight when he's bothering you! It sounds like something I did once on April Fool's Day as a joke. I invited my friend overmy house & told her that my brother was visiting form college & here's a chance to talk to him on a more personal note. Well when she got there my family and I were crying. We told her that we had just gotten a call saying that he had been in a horrendous 7 car pile-up and that his car had flipped over 10 times. We were on the way to the hospital if she wanted to join us. We rushed to the hospital and sat in the waiting room for hours. Finally a doctor that happened to be my uncle came out of surgery in bloody scrubs and claimed that my brother hadn't made it and he was very sory for our loss. My friend like collapsed. It was so funny; yet kinds wrong. Then later that night while we were all in mourning, the doorbell rings and my brother comes in the living room smiling. "Sorry it took me so long, I got a flat on the way." My friend was all, "OMG! Your your a alive... and passes out AGAIN! So my brother being the noble person that he is decides to give her mouth to mouth receitation. She comes to and starts crying her eyes out. My brother looks at us like she's lost her mind. We all start laughng and then explain to her the joke. Then would you believe it...she gets mad. Starts screaming things like "You don't play with people's emotions like that!" "My heart was broken when I recieved the news that my childhood crush had been killed in a car accident. That sh*t is not not f*cking funny. And if you think it is than you have a VERY serious ILLNESS!" Then I just looked at her and looked at my brother. He was on the floor laughing. Then my friend got embarressed because not only had she confessed her feelings for him, she did it in front of him and his ENTIRE family at 2 o'clock in the morning. The funny thing is that my brother and my best friend hooked up because he said he'd liked her too, from the moment they first met when he broke her Barbie.
SO yeah, I think it would okay to make a death certificate for your ex-husband. It would be hilarious!

It does not make me smile, knowing a marriage is going down the tube.
I'm sure the divorce is justified but still sad.
You need to do whatever is best for you but I'm not sure the Certificate is the answer.

I think the picture and darts maybe better...if something were to happen you may not feel like this death certificate were so funny.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. You don't love him anymore, fair enough, but kidding with stuff like that is dangerous. You might as well just want to kill him for fun, or give him a disease just to make him feel how bad he is, etc. µMind you, if he dies for any reason, you'll be the first suspect. Please, Don't you go doing stuff like that it so sucks.

humour over death has a limited life span
make it something like a newspaper page, with a photo,
announcing he wants a sex change, its easy to take his head and put it on a fat middle aged womans body, and that way EVERYONE will laugh at him, not just you
you get newspaper templates on line easily too
